DIAPER-CLEANER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Tol/ZZ lec/wm it may concern: i

.Be it known that I, NiNoN LANGTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at la re, in the parish of Sabine and State of Louisiana, have vinvented certain -new and useful .ln'iprovements in Diaper-Cleaners, of which the .following is a specification, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings.

'.lhis invention relates to diaper' cleaners', and an object thereof is the provision ofl a device of this character comprising a handle having a scraping blade secured thereto.

Another object of this invention is the provision of a cleaner comprising a handle having a scraping blade secured thereto, the blade being curved to prevent the matter which is scraped upon the blade from being deposited upon the handle.

Still another object of this invention is the provision of a cleaner, the blade of which is curved on one edge to f orm a tube whereby the blade may be secured to a handle` the l body portion of the blade being curved lon- Igitudinally and transversely so that the deposits scraped upon the plate will be prevented from passing over the edges thereof.

Vith these and other objects in view, my invention consists in certain novel constructions, combinations and arrangements of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure 1 is a perspective View of my invention; Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a side elevation -of the device; and Fig. 4 is an end view Referring more particularly to the drawin gs, the numeral 1- designates the handle ot my device and2 the substantially rectangular scraping blade. .One edge of the-blade inclined rearwardly to prevent any deposit upon the plate from passing over the rib on to the handle or tube. The body portion of "the plate is also curved transversely and longitudinally to dispose'the edges thereof 'above the central portion, to foi-1n a central seat or depression in which the vdeposits f scraped from the diaper are adapted t0 rest.

In the practical use of my device, the handle 'is grasped and the plate moved over the surface of the diaper with the edge of the plate opposite the rib 5 in engagement with the cloth so that the deposit is scraped upon the upper face of the plate.

A cleaner' of this character constructed in accordance with my' device comprises only t.\vo main parts, whereby it may be cheaply manufawtured and it Will beseen` that should the plate become broken or otherwise unfit for use, it may be readily detached from thel handle .by removingthe screws 4 S0 that a new plate maybe attached. Y

Having thus fully described my inven- Iatented Apr. 21, 191.4.. Application led May 26, 1913. Serial N o. 769,956.

tion, what I desire to claim and secure by Let-tersPatent. is l 1. A device of the character. described comprising a substantially rectangular plate curled at one edge to form a tube, `said plate heilig curved adjacent said tube to form a longitudinally extending upstanding rib, anda handleniounted in one end of said tube,.as and for the purpose described.

2. A device of the character described comprising a substantially rectangular plate curled at one edge to form a tube, a handle l mounted at one end in said tube,l said plate being curved ad]acent said tube to form .a

longitudinally extending upstanding ribv fsaid plate being also'curved longitudinally and' transversely, as and for the lpurpose described. Y v.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses. l NINON LANG'ION. Witnesses:
